I had this great idea to create a list of things I'm grateful for. But it couldn't just be a list, it had to be a significant list--I would come up with 2017 things I was grateful for in 2017. When I did the math, it came out to just finding 5 1/2 things every day.
That's not hard to do, is it?
Well, it's May 2nd and I've made it to 354. To reach my goal, I should be at 671. So, basically, I'm a little over halfway where I should be. Or I'm halfway behind. Whichever way you choose to see it.
I might catch up.
Then again, I might not.
But even if I stop today, I'll have 354 things I can look back on that I've been grateful for. And yes, there may be several different types of food in that list, but there are also people. So many people in my life to be thankful for.
What I'm finding is that gratitude breeds hope. Some days that hope is brighter than others, but even on the darker days--especially on the darker days--hope can still be seen.
And it's good.
